Saying goodbye to autumn

November 23, 2017 Amanda Wright

The nights are getting longer and darker and the colours of autumn are fading away. I thought I'd share some shots from a cold, autumn afternoon with my friend Madeline.

We found  the most beautiful red berries that happened to watch Madeline's coat perfectly, so naturally, I asked her to lay in the middle of the bed with them.

The woods were full of bright leaves and trees, but on our long walk we found a hill overlooking a field on the top. We got there just in time for a beautiful sunset over the field.

I especially like the warmth in this image above. It feels like we're desperately trying to hold on to the last rays of sun as they disapear beneath the horizon. One might fear never seeing them again as the nights grow longer and days get shorter. Every time the sun sets it's like saying goodbye to a dear friend you may not see again for a long time, and each sunrise lift a stone from your heart and gives you that extra bit of light you so desperately crave.

Photoshoot by the water

September 30, 2017 Amanda Wright

This saturday I dragged my gorgeous friend and model, Johanne, down to the harbor for an impromtu photoshoot. The main goal was to get some footage for my upcoming Youtube tutorial, but I couldn't help myself from taking some pictures in between...

I hope you liked the photos. I tried shooting from a different angle than traditional portraits. A lot of people are scared of being photographed from below, but it gives the model very powerful look. Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to make the purses Johanne is wearing.

My "new" vintage Kodak camera

August 9, 2017 Amanda Wright

One of my favorite things to do while in the city is visit flea markets. Even more so if they are full of antiques and vintage items. You can almost always find something you like, and if not, you'll certainly have some interesting conversations. 

Another one of my favorite things are cameras. Over the last couple of years I have fallen in love with analogue photography - well, instant photography. I currently own two Fujifilm Instax cameras: the mini 8 and the mini 90. I find myself looking at these tiny, framed pictures way more often than the thousands of digital ones taken by my DSLR that are all stored away on my computer. The fact that the film actually costs something makes me think twice before snapping a photo, and that thoughtfullness is almost always lost when shooting with digital cameras. It's so easy to just point and shoot 50 pictures, cause you can just delete them later at no extra cost. I automatically feel more attached to each image and appreciate it more, when I shoot analogue.

So I bought a vintage, post-war folding Retinette camera (type 017) from around 1952-54. It wasn't exactly clean, but the seller said that all the mechanics were in working order and that it should be no problem to use. It came with a beautiful leather case/bag and I payed about 75$ for it. A little bit expensive, I know, but here in Denmark everything is. 

Now all I have to do is purchase some 35 mm film online, do some test-shots and somewhere to develop the exposed film. I hope to find a darkroom at some point, so I can try to develop the photos myself. I know it perhaps isn't a very usefull skill nowadays, but i consider it a fun challenge as a photographer. 

Thank you for reading! I hope to see you back again soon.
